Discovering, Developing & Nurturing Individual Skills...

The Emmerson School of Dance was established in 1935 by Rita Emmerson and is now run by principal Kate Bowers. The schools aim is to help students acheive their full potential in a fun and caring environment, offering lessons in ballet (cecchetti method), tap, jazz, musical theatre and breakdance.

Able students are entered for the ISTD and LAMDA examinations.

We produce a show every 18 months, enter students for competitions and hold an annual summer school.

We have recently had students dance with the National Youth Ballet, English Youth ballet and Celtic Journeys (churchill theatre).
